I have made hard, best choice, says Tinubu on Shettima
All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has justified the choice of Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate in next year’s election, explaining why the ruling party should retain power.
Defending Shettima’s choice, Tinubu said he made a hard, but the best decision.
“This chapter in our nation’s history demands a bold, yet pragmatic approach. In selecting Senator Shettima, I have committed myself to this path. I have made the hard choice because I believe it is the best choice.”
According to Tinubu, the APC and Nigeria have a unique opportunity to rekindle hope for a better country.
“Every election brings with it the promise of renewed hope. This one shall be no different.
“For our party and our nation, we hold the chance to move the nation and our collective cause forward as never before.
“To do this, we must be wise of thought and courageous of action. We must win this election so that we can bring jobs, education, food, medicine, hope and belief in a better life to the people of this country.”

Tinubu unveiled Shettima, former governor of Borno State, at a colourful ceremony held at the Yar’Adua Conference Centre, Abuja.
APC leaders, led by National Chairman Abdullahi Adamu, were in one accord at the ceremony.
The vice presidential candidate described the Tinubu/Shettima ticket as one of hope, reminiscent of the Third Republic Abiola/Kingibe ticket.
Shettima, who was accompanied by his wife, Nana, said he was honoured by the consensus of eminent party stakeholders, who had reposed trust in the ticket.
Lauding the decision to pair Shettima with the standard bearer, Adamu said the ruling party will be victorious at the poll.
The event was witnessed by members of the National Executive Committee (NEC), members of the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF), House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, who was represented by House Leader Ado Doguwa, members of the National Assembly, former governors and ministers and governorship and parliamentary aspirants.
